There comes a time when wear, corrosion, and
age have effected a car to the point that it requires a body removal and full
chassis restoration. A fully restored chassis will make a car almost new again.
Wiring, shackle pins, and finishes, just to mention a few, all feel the effects
of time and will need to be renewed at some point. Fully dismantling, resetting
worn clearances, and refinishing every component and properly fitting and
testing assures that the car will perform as the makers had
intended.

We carefully and methodically dismantle
every component keeping highly detailed digital pictures, notes, and sorting
processes to be certain it gets reassembled as it was originally. Plating,
painting, and using the best quality protective finishes protects the vulnerable
nature of metals that can corrode not to mention making them look beautiful
again. We are familiar with the thread types used and have proper methods and
equipment to repair damaged ones. We are skilled in using machining techniques
for making and reshaping those difficult to find parts. But most importantly we
have experience in this specialty and have conquered many challenges faced in
this area. We feel it is important to be involved with clubs, organization, and
associations that are involved with the preservation and history of these
motorcars. It is also vitally important to keep the customer informed on
progress. By e-mailing or posting detailed pictures with explanations frequently
the customer feels involved and has a complete record to help increase the value
and affirm that the restoration was thoroughly and properly
done.

Although we have seen some cars
beautifully restored by their owners or shops that do not specialize, we have
seen many more cars that have been restored to poor standards. Poorly done
restorations can inhibit a car from reaching its full potential in performance
and overall satisfaction. Our goal with any restoration is to focus on quality
above all else just as when the car was originally produced.
